I like the idea of everybody in the audience putting on their masks to disguise where Alan is like if they didn't have them on the dog would have gone "Oh, there Alan is, it's that one!"
30 + years ago when I was in the military (U.S. Army) and we were going through our M.O.S. training a bunch of us heated some water up and put marijuana in it, and then Mopped the floors. We were tired of the " random " dog checks for drugs. It drove that poor dog nuts. We ended up there the whole day as every f'n place was checked for drugs, and they brought in two more dogs, who also went nuts. It was a stupid thing to do considering the consequences if we had been caught. But we had a laugh over that for months.
@@dunker-roo9552 poor dogs, not allowed to be dogs, and getting abused on top of that, then put down if you're useless to them. granted, that's more common in the us.
That last one reminds me of the Garda looking for a Polish guy who'd been caught by speeding cameras and in person a few times - they had dozens of outstanding fines that weren't paid. Turned out they were looking for someone called Prawo Jazdy. Which is Polish for "driving licence" :D
The story about Michael Malloy is great, and for another telling of the story you may want to watch the video by Sam O'Nella. Hopefully someone finds it good!
Suffolk Police generously sent 2 working dogs to our youth club one evening. One was trained to sniff drugs, guns and money - a good dog to have at a party.
Winter temps in NYC -- at 6:30 -- virtually never fall to -20C (-4F). The average low in NYC in January (coldest month) is 27F (-3C). Temperatures in the teens (F) occur sometimes, but anything below 10F is rare, and below 0F is beyond rare.
That last one was used in a CSI: New York episode. They thought there was a serial killer, it turned out all their cotton swabs had been contaminated by one of the factory workers.
The Spent Poets wrote an instrumental called You Can't Kill Michael Malloy, of which 25s was later taken as an interlude in Primus's album Frizzle Fry. That's the kind of useless trivia I hope will one day come up in a pub quiz.
Sniffing doggo reminded me of a story about a drug dog who indicated on a chap's packed lunch at the airport (it was pizza) and the handler said to the dog "It's no problem, I know you have a problem with pizza" and doggo got his treat anyway.
harlyn blanchflower I do miss Stephen he is such a darling, but I have to say I have rather taken to Sandi, which I never thought I would! Sandi is just lovely, charming, funny, clever, and well ........ really a female version of Stephen I feel! ❤️🦋🙏
That's the thing.... "They have a stand or sit indication" but he never said what that indication is nor will they ever say, so they can claim anything is an indication, and in doing that they can proceed further. Just another way to force control. I don't do drugs but I don't think a human interpretation of what a dog may or may not smell is valid to force proceedings to go further.
In Canada's correctional system we have drug dogs to help screen visitors who are trained to become extraordinarily friendly, trying to play with them etc. with people who have drugs on them. Correctional Officers then bring you to a back room and have a rather frank conversation with you. Of course we also have a the more aggressive attack dogs as well, but this saves us from over litigious persons visiting our prisons.
Well, I think the audience's reaction is entirely reasonable. Malloy's claim to fame is that he survived a number of determined attempts on his life, so none of us would be talking about him or even know of his existence otherwise. The disappointment that we give voice to when we here that he was eventually killed is more to do with the fact that he finally failed to survive, than with thinking that all the previous attempts on his life were OK.
An autopsy revealed that he was poisoned by gas in a likely homicide, which tipped the insurance companies off that it was fraud and that led to the perpetrators being caught!
I once farted in a pool and sucked the bubbles for extra air! Actually no, what i really did was, put a hose somewhere, then i farted, then i could breath under water. Like a virtual scuba tank for free :):):): human power!
The British Police Service have trained dogs in the areas of drug and explosives detection and general Police service. So some are trained to restrain suspects.
I don't find that first one particularly funny or remarkable, because it seems to just be a display of "Look at how easily and quickly people can get their lives ruined for having weed!"
Or heroin or meth or any number of hard drugs. Sure they may catch a majority of people with personal supply, but they may also catch dealers or smugglers.
@@slowfreq if someone is in possession of a controlled substance then they are not innocent by definition of the law. Also most drug busts are not done in conjunction with a sniffer dog so your melodramatic concern regarding thier existence is unnecessary. In regard to people being imprisoned for weed possession etc, there is a growing movement for decriminalisation that is also being backed by an increasing number of politicians.
It's a risk that people consciously take. You have to expect punishment for doing something that's illegal. I don't want to demonize people that do take weed, I don't really care and it's better than alcohol (which should absolutely not be legal IMO, but I know that's impossible), but if you want to smoke weed, you will have to face consequences if you get caught.
Starting to get sick of these compilations where in some of them you get the same scene when in truthfullness its the full episodes i want to see, can't seem to get them.
If you’re referring to the “have they not met Irish people” but, then a) Irish isn’t a race, and b) I guarantee you there’s very few Irish people that would find that offensive.
pmailkeey Why is it terrible? It clearly works! Don’t forget that most drug busts don’t happen in an auditorium, aha! There is a sniffer dog (looking for fruit, fish and drugs) at my local airport, and he is on a lead. He stands next to the door, so that everyone has to walk past him single/double file to get to the exit and baggage collection. I have been pulled up a few times because it thought I had fruit (the smell sticks to bags for a few days) so it clearly works! He also walks along the baggage carousel :)
pmailkeey Rightio then...no need to start the insults. I was meaning why specifically do you think it is a bad thing to not use a lead (ie. maybe it’s because you think it is limiting the dog?), as I personally have only seen them on leads. If that was not clear, I apologise. I thought maybe you had expertise (or at least an educated opinion) on the subject. I’m more than happy to start over and have a civilised conversation if that is something that you are interested in, but if not then Happy New Year!
@@marysdanceworld6066 It's quite clear they know where to take the dog to find Alan. The dog should be off the lead and not be guided to him. In the real world, dogs will be somewhat guided - in that "go look over there" type thing. And of course, Alan was sat at the end of a row. For real entertainment, they should have planted people in the audience with drugs that no one in the studio knew about - to get a real reaction to the finding of what they believe to be a genuine audience member with drugs. As I said, if done properly, the dog would be off the lead - and should have been free to run through people's feet along the rows. It'd have been far more fun too!
@@millomweb Fair enough - I can definitely see where you are coming from! Originally I had thought you were questioning how they handled the sniffer dogs in real life! To see a dog catch a random person (even if Alan was planted there) would have very funny!!!
